I was initially very excited to find a book on Rabbi Gamaliel. Harvey started out writing some good points on the rabbi but digressed greatly shortly into the book. Numerous early pages were very redundant. Most of the book is anything but a narrative on Gamaliel. For someone who claims to be a Christian theologian, he is very biased in his opinions and has serious misunderstandings about other Christian beliefs. It seemed as though most of his book was an excuse to vent his latent frustrations. He also needs to learn how to write a book before sending a manuscript off to a publisher. Any peer-review in theology or history would have helped him tremendously in correctly addressing the title topic. His theological training must have been very limited to provide such shallow comments. A good basic biblical history class would have helped his understanding of theology. Reading the book was a total waste of my time and money.
